The heat of the sun is not increasing.
The researches Of the botanist aud gsolo-
gist show that the solar radiation OF heat
can not have varied bat in very trifiing
degree since the most remote geological
ages--that is, for millions of years. 1t
is estimated that the measure of the heat
of the sun at its surface is $4,000 degrees
Fahrenheit, which is Eve times the high
est temperature man can produce artin-
cially--equal, in fact, to what would
result from burning each mass OF coal
(of the best quality, 200 miles broad, 2OO
miles long and 200 miles high-that is,
1000, 900 cubic miles OF coal. This would
be about twelve millions of millions OF
tons per second. 1t will help us to i'm
agine what this means if we consider that
the whole output of our exceptionally
coal. producing country is but about l5O,-
OOO, 900 of tons per annum. 1t is calcu-
lated that only one 1881 900, 900 part of
the suns heat reaches us, and, therefore,
the whole amount really passes either
compre ehenson or calculation, and it is a
vexed question with astronomers as to
what becomes OF The heat that goes of
into space.

A FATAL COLLISION
Two Passenger Trains Meet at Full Speed
and Make Fearful Wreck.

Two Passenger Trains Meet at Full Speed
and Make n Fearful Wreck.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Sept. 19.-The most dis
astr0us and fatal railroad accident that
has occurred in this vicinity for years,
took place this morning at five minutes
past on the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railroad at a point two miles north
OF Dubuque. Two passenger trains col
i1ded on the curve around Eagle Point,
by which the two engineers and one
fireman were instantly killed, the other
fireman and a brakeman dying during
the forenoon, in all five persons.
Charles Fales, one of tt 3 oldest en-
glneers on the road, was Oh the engine
OF the south-bound train, and Elmer
Winchester on the north bound train.
William Richmond and Edward Cum
innings were the two firemen, and all
lived in Dubuque. John Pernity, OF Mil
Waukee, brakeman on the north
bound train, who was riding on
the engine so as to open the switch
at Peru. three miles beyond, the regu-
lar meeting place of the two trains, was
instantly killed. J. j. O'Brien, express
messenger, and one of the postal clerks
We're badly shaken up, but not seriously
hurt. None of the passengers were
injured beyond few bruises except
Richard Wright, of Holy Cross, who was
coming to Dubuque. He was injured in
the back but not dangerously. The two
engines were badly wrecked and were
thrown into a shapeless mass.
The cause of the accident is said to be
charged up to the train dispatcher at
La Crosse. The place where the acct
dent occurred was at Eagle Point, one of
the sharpest curves on the road, and
where all trains have to whistle and
slow up. This morning there was
heavy fog. The south-bound train was
moving at good speed and the engines
could not be seen until within fifty feet
of each other and too late for either en-
gineerS or fremen to iump. -.

An Investigation.

Evidence of a Big Land Steal in Arizona
An Investigation.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 14.-John
Hise, the Encouragement of Arizona,
in his annual report to Land Commits
sioner Sparks, says there is evidence
accommodating that the survey of large
block of land, about 80 miles in width
and about 100 miles in length, surveyed
under the deposit system for the Atlantic
& Pacific Railroad, had been carelessly
done, if not criminally instigated. 1t has
been VIGOROUSLY commented upon by
the settlers on this tract during the past
year that the watering places are almost
entirely on the railroad section. Large
cattle companies are now the possessors
of these lands, including government
lands, and there is a mysterious whis-
pering as to the corporators and
owners of the stock Incidental to
corporations of this magnitude. The
surveyor-general expresses the opinion
that this whole matter should be inves-
tigated and the remedy applied. The
surveyor-general is of the opinion that
more perjury is now committed under
the desert land law than any time in
the history of the territory.

LEAPED INTO THE LAKE,,
A Dozen Ferryboat Passengers Believed
to Have Perished at Toronto.

Dozen Ferryboat Passengers Believed
to Have Perished at Toronto.
TORONTO, Ont, Sept. IA ferryboat
collision occurred here last night which
was a hair-breadth escape from one Of
the most awful lake disasters ever heard
of. Two boats were crowded with pas
sengers. Just as the collision happened,
many from the colliding boats, Sadie
and Gertrude, were seen to jump
into the water from the frightened and
confused mass of passengers. It is fear
ed dozen or more are drowned. A
number were seen struggling in the
water, and no rescues are reported.
One man who swan out to a passenger
he saw struggling in the water says he
could not rescue the passenger. The
accident appears to have been
caused by the ferryboat Queen City,
which was short distance behind the
boat Gertrude and going in the same di-
rection, and whistled twice instead of
simply following the Gertrude. The
Queen City should not have whistled
Her whistling confused the Gertrude
and the Sadie and caused the collision.
This afternoon it is thought that no
lives were lost. No one is reported miss
ing and it is believed all who went into
the water were rescued.

Curious Recognition Of a Coin.
From the Ennch

From the Epoch
Near Central Park there lives q WON
an who occupies comfortable apart
ment and seems to possess a compe-
tence. She rises late and has her
breakfast sent daily from a neighbour
ing cafe. To the waiter she is liberal,
tipping him frequently.
Not long ago this waiter when pass
ing along Third Avenue was accosted
uy beggar woman. She was wretch
eddy dressed, repulsively ugly and
squalid. The waiter gave her q mutt
lated coin and the beggar thanked
him volubly.
The next day the waiter received
the same mutilated coin from the
woman to whom he carried bre akfast.
He was astounded. He could not be-
lieve that the woman who tipped him
IN so regal q manner and the wretch
ed beggar of the avenue were one and
the same person.
He concluded to experiment.. Mark
ing coin he took q position on the
avenue. Soon the same woman that
had begged of him the night before
asked him for aims. He gave her the
marked piece of money. -
Two days afterward he received it
from the woman of the apartments
when she paid for her breakfast. He
then accused her of mendicancy. She,
discovering that she was cieverly
caught, laughed and said: eve both
take tips, you and -
The waiter relished the joke. He
continues to serve her. Shecontinues
to tip him and to prey upon the

SHAKEN BY TIE DEAL.
Mu1onaIres Flood ana NIacIxay Emba1

MIuonalreS Flood ana Maclxay Embar-
rassed by Speculation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 15.-Great
prominence is given by local ne wspapers
to changes announced in the directory
OF the Nevada Bank by which ex-Sena-
tor James g. Fair again becomes a
prominent stakeholder and accepts the
presidency of the bank in place
OF j. Z. Flood, who retires, though
remaining as a director. According
to the published accounts the change
was natural outcome to the recent big
wheat deal. The Post to-day says that
saying the announcement created some
surprise in business circles is but mildly
stating the case. as the street knew per-
fectly well that between Fair and his
ex-partners there was something in the
nature of a savage feud ard especially
between Fair and Mackay who is credit
ed with having publicly made some not
very flattering Illusions about Fair and
his characteristics. Other rumors which
had almost drowned themselves in the
sea Of speculation, t1oated up and
theory that the Nevada Bank
or rather Flood and Mackay were
financially embarrassed and were
paying as high as per cent. for loans
and had even borrowed collateral on
on which to secure loans. The troubles
on the Nevada Bank have been brought
about, it is universally admitted, by late
financiering in the wheat deal. This fact,
Senator Fair, in an interview, virtually
admits.

clothing on Fire.

In every case let the person who's
clothes or hair has caught fire throw
himself fat on the floor and roll upon
the flame. If there is anything in the
room OF thick woolens or carpets to
smother 1t, even g. gossaIner or Water
proof cloak, snatch these and smother
the fire while calling for help. II the
fire has caught the hair, bury the
head in bedclothes. Fire cannot burn
without air, and by shutting out all
air from the flames they must go out.
But an open door fans the flames and
a standing position gives them head
way. Girls are much more liable.
from their long, floating hair, their cot
ton aprons, and, altogether, thinner
and more loosely boufant dress, TO
be set on fire than boys, whose stout
cloth Jackets are not easily ignited.
The rules for putting out fire in burn
ing clothing may not be taught in the
normal school, but every teacher
ought to know them, and so thor
oughly that even the fright of mount
ing flames will not drive them out Of
mind.
The Public Ledger Of Philadelphia,
in commenting on g. burning casualty,
by which g. young lady lost her life,
says: "The first thing to teach people
is that fire makes Roadway more rap
idly IN burning clothes when the en-
dangered person is standing up. The
difference in progress between burn
ing lamplighter of twisted paper held
IN the hand perpendicularly, fame
down, and the same paper laid fiat on
a marble hearth can be seen in g.
moment. The first thing to do when
clothing catches fire is to lie
if there is nothing within
reach to smother it. II, as is proba-
BILE, there is bed in the room, getting
into the bed between the blankets and
rolling up in them is a sure way OF
putting out the fire in q burning skirt
or sleeve. The worst, the very worst
thing to do is to run downstairs.
Opening the door makes one draught,
the flight downstairs another, and
rushing out into the street, in the last
frenzied moment, the worst of all.
The impulse to get out of doors is
very strong in all such cases, because
within the house there are always
means for putting out fire and out
side there are none--rugs, rag carpet
torn off the kitchen floor, a heavy
overcoat, blankets from the bed, even
pieces of bedside carpet, put round
the person in the twinkle of an eye,

Where do all the corks go? The care
